MANHATTAN — The man who was stabbed repeatedly as he helped police stop the 28-hour rampage of an alleged knife-wielding murder went back to work Monday, according to the Daily News.

Joseph Lozito, 40, still bruised and scarred from his run-in with alleged murder Maksim Gelman, returned to his job at Lincoln Center where he sells tickets, the paper reported.

"There are not a lot of people walking around the city looking like Frankenstein," Lozito told the News about the still-fresh scars he received during the attack.

Gelman is accused of killing four people — allegedly stabbing three to death and running another down with a car — and injuring at least four others, including Lozito, during a 28-hour rampage that began in Brooklyn and ended on Feb. 12 on an uptown 3 train between the 34th Street and 42nd Street stations, according to police.

Joseph Lozito was the final stabbing victim of alleged murder Maksim Gelman during a 28-hour slashing spree on Feb. 11 and 12.

On the train, Gelman allegedly stabbed Lozito multiple times in the head and neck with a large kitchen knife before Lozito, a 6-foot-2 mixed martial arts expert, helped officers drag Gelman to the ground, police said.

Maksim Gelman, 23, is accused of going on a two-day slashing spree that left four people dead and four others wounded.
